SCENE ONE

Amelia was at Tyrone's house, and it was extremely early. Tyrone's mom was up already and she let Amelia in. Tyrone then came walking down the hall in sweats and a T-shirt on. He had just woke up and was yawning.

Amelia- Morning dragon breath. *She teased*

Tyrone- *As he whipped his face while yawning* Oh did you sleep over?

Amelia- No. I'm here for April.

Tyrone- Oh right, girl’s day out. *He said sarcastically while entering the kitchen*

Mrs. Phillips- Don't worry about him. *As she smiled*

Amelia- I know it's early but I promised April a full day.

Mrs. Phillips- Oh sweetie of course it's okay! April has been going on and on about this all week. *As they both walked down the hall*

Amelia- I'm sure she has! *As Amelia smiled*

Mrs. Phillips- You don't understand, April looks up to you your like her big sister and she just admires you. It's like when your here it's home. *As she smiled and walked away*

Amelia then stood there contemplating and she began to smile. She walked into April’s room and saw April fully under the covers. Immediately she knelt by the bed and began to whisper.

Amelia- Hey? April? April? Guess who? Wake up April! Guess what day it is?
April then popped up from under the covers already dressed with her bags next to her and she was excited.

April- It's Girls weekend! *She said in a singing tone*

Amelia- *Laughs* Someone sounds ecstatic!

April- Yeah!

Amelia- But you want to know who's even more excited about this weekend?

April- Who?

Amelia- I am! *As she hugged her* Now let's go we've got a long day.
She then took April by the hand and they made their way out and Tyrone was in the living room watching a movie while eating a slice of pizza.

Amelia- Pizza really? At 7 in the morning?

Tyrone- Come Ooonn! Have a bite, you know you wanna! *As he teased*

Amelia- I'll pass.

Tyrone- You’re leaving already?

Amelia- Yeah I have to.

Tyrone- What no hug goodbye?

Amelia then stared at him and walked out of the door smiling. Tyrone then got up and stood by the door eating his Pizza.

Tyrone- Love you.

Amelia, April- Love you too.

A car then pulled up in the drive way. It was Angelique. She then screw down her window and shout out to Tyrone.

Angelique- Tye?

Amelia then became shocked as she sat in her car and began stare.

Amelia- The hell is she doing here?

April- She came a week ago. She's been here every day since. If you came over more maybe you'd have known. But you’re probably busy so it's nothing. *As she smiled*

Amelia then began to contemplate on what April said and drove off.

Meanwhile, Amelia and April arrived at her house and Mr. Delerentez was in the living room getting ready to leave for work.

Mr. Delerentez- Wow you’re up early!

April- *As she ran and hugged Mr. Delerentez* Hey!

Mr. Delerentez- Hey princess! So you're the little cutie that kidnapped my daughter early this morning huh?

April- No! *She smiled* If it's anything she kidnapped me.

Amelia- Gasps! April?

April- In a good way of course! *As she smiled*

Mr. Delerentez- *Laughs* I'm late for work I'll see you ladies when I get home!  *As he walked out of the house*

Amelia and April then went into her room and she had turned her whole room into a spar. She had everything from tables and equipment’s to the center candles and warm water.

Amelia- Welcome to La Amelia's Castella of beauty!

April- Gasp! Amelia what did you do to your room?

Amelia- Rearranged it for you! *As she smiled* You like?

April- If I like? I love!

Amelia- *As she smiled* I did it just for you.

April- Are those cupcakes?

Amelia- Yes! But however I know you haven't eaten anything as yet so let's leave those for later and grab some breakfast and hot cocoa.

April- With marshmallows?

Amelia- How else were we going to drink it? *As she laughed*

Meanwhile, Jennifer was at home by her pool tanning. Her mom was in the pool floating on a purple floater and was making calls on her mini ear phone.

Jennifer- Mom how did you and dad manage to stay married for 11years?

Mrs. Carson- Dedication! Commitment! Consistency!

Jennifer- You say that like its ea....

Mrs. Carson- *As she spoke on her phone* Sawyer, listen, I need an assistant that's dedicated and that can put up with me!

Jennifer- Mom are you even listening to me?

Mrs. Carson- Sweetie it's rude to talk when I'm on the phone.

Jennifer then got up and began to walk towards the house. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her and at the same time her dad was walking out towards the Pool.

Jennifer- Oh dad? I'm going over at Amelia's.

Mr. Carson- Sound great… I can't wait! *He said on his phone he passed her smiling*

Jennifer- Ugh! I’m going to school I'm late.

Mr. Carson- Sounds even better! I love the thought of that.

Jennifer- But it's Saturday...

Mr. Carson- Look John who's the boss here you or me?

Jennifer- Sigh of course...*As she realized that her dad was talking on his phone*

SCENE TWO

Meanwhile, April was sitting on a soft beanbag chair while Amelia was polishing her toes.

April- *As she stared smiling*

Amelia- You like?

April- I love! It's my favorite color!

Amelia- It's mine too!

April- This is why we're like sisters.

Amelia- *Smiled* We're alike in every way!

April- Can I do your toes next?

Amelia- I'd love that.

Amelia then placed a coat over the polish to give it a finish gloss.

April- *She stared Amelia in the face* You are so beautiful! I wish I can wear makeup like you can! *She said depressingly*

Amelia- April? *As she took her by the chin* You are extremely beautiful! You don't need any make up! Seriously... I mean from your full brown eyes your full lips and besides, you haven't hit your teenage years yet imagine if you’re so exquisite now how you'll look 8 years from now.

They both stared waiting for the other to talk.

Amelia- *Laughs* Gorgeous!

April- *Smiled* You really think so?

Amelia- I know so! *She smiled* You know what? I have an idea. *As she got up*

Amelia then went to her make up draw and pulled out the chair.

Amelia- Come and sit here.

April- Yay make over! *As she ran towards Amelia*

Amelia- No, no, no! Just enhancing!  *As she took out her make up brush and began to blush April's face* You want to know the secret to make up?

April- *Smiled* Yeah!

Amelia- The secret is to work with what you got. *As she placed mascara on to her eye gently* A little Blush, mascara.... And... *As she took out a natural pink gloss* a little lip enhancement. I said little because you want to make it look like you have on nothing.

April- But I want to look like I have on something.

Amelia- Trust me you don't. But what I meant was that if you have puffy cheeks to bring out your smile blush works. For full eyes, mascara. You want to look natural but yet beautiful! *As she turned April facing the mirror* See?

April- Gasp! *As she smiled* I look...

Amelia- Natural! It's like nothing's there and it's all yours!

April- Amelia you're the best ever! *As she hugged her*

Amelia- *Smiled* You said it yourself we're a lot alike.

April's tummy then began growl and they laughed.

Amelia- Someone's hungry I see.

April- Yeah, those cupcakes can go perfect right now!

Jennifer then un-expectantly walked into the room with food in her hands.

Jennifer- I've got something better! *She sang while smiling*

Amelia- Perfect! *As she hugged her* What are you doing here?

Jennifer- What’s up what everyone asking me that recently? Am I not welcome are your houses anymore?

Amelia- *As she laughed* You know I didn’t mean it like that.

Jennifer- I came to join girl’s day out. And from the looks of it *As she looked around* It's a spar day. In here looks amazing like a real spar! Where'd you get the stuff?

Amelia- Ugh... *She said a bit shaky* They're my mom’s... I got dad to bring them out of storage.

Jennifer- Oh yeah I knew it looked familiar! This is great! I'm excited.*As she hopped in the chair* My turn! *As she laughed*

Amelia- *Laughs* My dear assistant can you hand me the polish?

April- I would be delighted. *As she said politely*

On the other hand, Monica and Mason were down town walking holding hands while drinking smoothies. It was mid-day the sun was out and they were laughing and their feelings were really growing for each other.

Mason- Ah Man, midterms are in a few.

Monica- Ugh don't remind me! I really need a break from it all!

Mason- Tell me about it! I just wish we could have a nice and relaxing weekend just the two of us. *He flirted*

Monica- *Slightly smiled* I don't know… *She turned to face him* You just might get it. *She flirted*

Mason- Oh yeah?

Monica- *Laughs* Yeah!

They then began to kiss while standing next some sprinklers it then went off and Monica took Mason's hand and they began to run while laughing.

Monica- *Screams softly* Ah!

Mason- I forgot that turns on everyday at 1.

Monica then began to stare at some cheerleaders on the park. It was Westridge practicing and they looked perfect. Courtney was the head cheerleader and she was at front directing them while they were working on stunts.

Mason- What are we looking at?

Monica didn't answer; she was captivated and had a worried look on her face. Courtney then looked at Monica and Mason and gave a mischievous smile.

Mason- M? You okay?

Monica- Oh um yeah. *She smiled relentlessly* I'm good.

Mason- Who are they?

Monica- *As she turned towards Mason* Just some school we have to compete with after midterm. But it's nothing.

Mason- *Took her by the hand* You sure babe?

Monica- Yeah. *She smiled and looked at their hands*

Courtney- Enjoying the show? *As she walked towards Monica with her two best friends "Lala" and Keyanna*

Monica- *She then quickly let Mason's hand go* Courtney?

Courtney- Don't tell me you're cheer stealing. *She teased*

Monica- Stealing? Courtney you out of all people know that I'm never down for that crap!

Lala- Well we repeat.... did you enjoy the show?

Monica- You're alright, I've seen you do better!

The three friends laughed as if what she said was a joke.

Courtney- *Laughs* I doubt it!

Keyanna- Well I mean I'm sorry that you don't know the difference between Pros and amateurs . And just so we’re clear, you’re the amateur.

Courtney- Ladies let's show her what a REAL squad looks like! *She smirked*

Monica- *Laughs* Let me guess your squad is what a "Real" squad looks like right?

Courtney and her friends looked at each other knotting their heads implying yes.

Monica- Well wake up honey! Your girls are slack, your stunts are sloppy and you chants are old! And most importantly your little two groupies Lala and Keyanna are annoying! *As she took Masons hand and walked away*

Lala- Excuse me?

Keyanna- Yeah she had to have lost her mind!

Courtney- Gasp! With that said you better bring it!

Monica- *As she walked away* Al-ready BROUGHT!

Monica and Mason then quickly got back at the plaza and she pulled out her phone panicking.

Mason- What was that all about?

Monica- *As she had out her phone texting extremely fast* Emer.....prac....ASAP! *She murmured*

Mason- *Grabbed her hand* Monica! Stop! And talk to me!

Monica- I need to call an emergency practice!

Mason- What about relaxing?

Monica- Ha! Relax? No time for that! We need to practice now! ASAP! *As she pressed sent* There, the squad should be on their way.
Jennifer, Amelia and April were sitting with curlers in their hair pedicure slippers and were eating cupcakes. Their phone then began to ring off and they read the message.

Amelia- It's Monica! *As she read the message*

Jennifer- Emergency practice..?

Amelia- Let's go!

Jennifer- I'm not going.

Amelia- Yes you are! If I have to drag you by your mouth, you're going! *As she got up* Now let's go, we'll take my car!

Monica was at the gym she had on her gym shorts, sports bra and sneakers stretching. Some of the squad was already there others walked in one by one with their gym bags.

Monica- Let's go! Let's go! No time for sitting!

Santonio- What's going on?

Amelia, Jennifer and April then walked into the gym with their gym bags and were dressed with gym shorts and t shirts.

Monica- Good! It looks like everyone's here!

Amelia- What's up?

Trish- Yeah because I was in the middle of a massive shopping spree. There was this huge sale at the mall and..

Monica- *Crossed her fingers in Trish's face implying her to shut up* Ugh! Trish not now! We've got a competition coming up after midterm and we aren't ready!

Megan- Can't we just start on Monday?

Monica- No! I let you guys slack off too much! It's not happening anymore! We have to get this we have to win! We have to be consistent! Hell, we have to work our asses off! I don't know about you but I want this!

Amelia- So do we!

Mason then walked into the gym with Monica's gym bag he went at her house to get and he saw Amelia, April and Jennifer.

Mason- I think everything you asked for is in here, but double check before I leave.

Jennifer- *Rolls her eyes* Ugh!

Mason- Jen what's wrong?

Jennifer- Oh don't question me! You have no reason to talk to me!

Mason- Come on! You're not over this yet?

Jennifer- No! I'm not! And I never will be I'll put up with her because I'm on this team and this team has to work together and be one in order for us to make it through this competition, but you on the other hand, you and I are done!  As friends as everything! *As she walked away*

Mason- You're being impossible you know that?

Amelia- That's enough okay? Damn it that's enough! I am so disappointed in you two. Mason I think you should leave. Okay? Just go and you two can discuss this another time but this is not the time or place!

Mason- But I...

Amelia- I've got April with me we'll come over after practice. It's best you guys just not make a scene and just... leave for now.

Trish- *As she teased* Too late for that. Just saying...

Mason- Sigh, alright. *As he walked away*

Monica- Look! We have to stay focus! I saw those Westridge girls today and they looked amazing!

Carlos- Yeah well we look better!

Monica- Of course we do! Especially if we put our all and do this! We need sponsors, new uniforms, flight tickets, hotel expenses and that's the hard part aside from getting the routine together!

Everyone- Awe! Sigh... *They all complained*

Jennifer- How much are we talking about?

Monica- At least four thousand.

Jennifer- I can get my parents to sponsor our trip and rooms however, we're cheerleaders do you know what that mean? *As she placed her hands on her waist* It means we are some of the most hottest, most fit lady's and you guys too, at this school....I'm talking a fair! Some of the girls work the car wash; we perform using old routines of course and have games and rides and charge 20 bucks a head.

Santonio- Yeah. *As he looked at trish*

Trish- Sounds good. *She smiled*

Carlos- Perfect!

Megan- I'm down!

Amelia- This can work!

Monica- I love the sound of that however, where will we get the money from to rent these games and rides or spot?

Jennifer- True, true.

Amelia- We can have it here at school.

Santonio- Or even better, cut out the rides let’s do a movie. Games, car wash, and a performance by us and at 9 we do a movie here and sell hot dogs and popcorn. That should land us at least enough money to get our uniforms.

Everyone- *Talked amongst each other* Yeah...this should be good!

Monica- *Smiled* Oh I love you guys you know just how to put a smile on my face. Now let's go! *As she clapped her hand* I want a swing in the air with a roller coaster going through it and my back liners I need back flips and side liners I need cartwheels coming in. Let's go five, six, fix, six, seven, eight!

SCENE THREE

Mason and Dustin were in Mason's backyard playing basketball. It was nearly dark and they were conversing while practicing.

Dustin- Game starts after midterm we have to work on some techniques.

Mason- Yeah man I agree.

Dustin- I’m going to email everyone the new schedules tonight but practice is every day until game at 4pm through the week and 5am weekends.

Mason- 5? Nigga is you joking?

Dustin- Serious as a heart attack. Did he just call me the N word?

Mason- Yeah I did. You my nigga. *As they hand shake*

Tyrone and Angelique then pulled up by Mason's house. They walked in and saw Mrs. Smith she was putting out food, snacks and drinks.

Tyrone- Hey good evening Mrs. Smith. *As he kissed her cheek*

Mrs. Smith- Tye just the guy I wanted to see! *As she continued taking out the buns not dogs hamburgers and Italian sausages*

Angelica- Hello. *As she smiled*

Mrs. Smith- Oh, well who's this beautiful lady?

Tyrone- Oh my bad, Mrs. Smith do you remember Angelique? We use to all play together when we were about 9.

Mrs. Smith- *As she tried to make out the face* I think so… did you have kinky curly afro hair? *She smiled and shakes her hand*

Angelique- I did! And you made the best tacos. *As she smiled*

Mrs. Smith- I do remember you! Gosh you’ve grown so beautifully.

Angelique- Thank you. 

Mrs. Smith- The guys are out back and the ladies are in the screening room.

Tyrone- Oh the girls are here too?

 Mrs. Smith- Yeah, can you go out back and let them know that the foods ready and that they can come to the kitchen?

Tyrone- Oh sure! No problem Mrs. S. *As he walked out back*

Mrs. Smith- You can let the ladies know too. They are right up stairs to the left then first right.

Angelique- No problem! Trust me I remember. *As she left*
Tyrone walked out back and saw Dustin and Mason playing ball. He then walked towards them and smiled as he tried to take the ball.

Tyrone- Yo D? Mase? Wassup?

Dustin- *Man handshakes him* Aye yo what a do?

Tyrone- What's up my nigga?

Dustin- You just called me the N word too! 

Tyrone- Yeah, that means you're my boy! My homie! My friend! 

Mason- Yeah Dus, you're one of us now. 

Dustin- Awe man thanks guys! I appreciate it. 

Dustin- Does this mean I get to say it too?

Tyrone, Mason, Jordan, Vince- NO! *As they all said together bombarded*

Dustin- Oh shit my bad!

Tyrone- You are never, under any circumstances able to say that! You understand?

Dustin- Perfectly!

Tyrone- Good.

Vincent- I'm biracial and I'm not even a lot to say that word.

Jordan- Nigga you not. You are light skin! Your mama black and dad black.

Vincent- *As he paused for a second thinking* I'm pretty sure I'm mixed.

Tyrone- Yeah, mixed with negro and negro. *As they all laughed.*

Vincent- Man screw all of you! 

Mason- Where were you anyway? You were supposed to be here hours ago!

Tyrone- I was a little busy I had company.

Dustin- Company huh? I hear ya!

Mason- *Throws the ball in* Man I'm tired and starving.

Tyrone- Oh yeah, Mason your mom said that the foods done.

Mason- It's about time!

Tyrone- One more round though? Self-play, you me and Dus!

Dustin- I'm down.

Mason- You guys are trying to kill me. Let's go.

Meanwhile, Amelia and April had arrived at Mason’s house. She still had on her gym cloths and had her purse in her hand and they walked in without knocking, as usual.

Amelia- Honey I'm home! *She smiled*

Amelia then walked into the kitchen and saw Mrs. Smith taking out a tray of drinks.

Mrs. Smith- Hey sweetie!

Amelia- Hey Mama, how are you? *As she hugged her*

Mrs. Smith- Worked! *As she laughed* I was up from about 6 this morning and it was hectic! I mean cooking, cleaning, grocery runs, cooking again...it's been crazy!

Amelia- The life of a mother and wife.

Mrs. Smith- You’ll be saying the same thing when you find yourself a husband and some kids.

Amelia- *As she smiled* I bet. But whomever I marry, we have to split the chores and house work 50/50.

Mrs. Smith- I said the same thing; now look at me. 1,000/0. *As she laughed* Hey April, how are you?

April- I'm good. How are you?

Mrs. Smith- Oh I am swell! *As she smiled* The girls should be down any minute now and the guys...they haven't come in yet so they are probably still playing ball.

Amelia- Typical. *As she laughed*

Mrs. Smith- Well ladies help yourself to whatever, I'm going to take me a real nice long bath. *As she left*

Amelia then reached to the top shelf to get two plates. While doing that, Angelique then walked in.

Amelia- So April what would you like?

April- Cheese burger and ugh.. *As she tapped her chin with one finger* Italian sausage with some chips.

Amelia- You sure? That's kind of a lot...

April- Yeah!

Angelique- Amelia? *As she smiled*

Amelia then looked up in shock and at a loss for words.

Amelia- What…what are you doing here?

Angelique- Tyrone invited me. *As she had an ecstatic facial expression*  I think I saw you earlier today at Tye's house but you left so fast I didn't get a chance to tell you hi.

Monica and Trish then walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate.

Amelia- Oh yeah, I only came for April and I was in then out; we had a long day ahead of us.*She spoke to her with hesitation*

Angelique- Hey April.

April- Hey Angie!

Angelique- I hope you two had fun!

Monica- Angelique have you seen Mason?

Angelique- I think he and Tye are in the back.

Amelia- Wait, you two know each other?

Monica- We just met a minute ago! She's pretty cool. Can't wait for you to come to our school. I hope you are as good as you said! *As she smiled while making a burger*

Angelique- I promise you I am. *As she smiled*

Amelia- Come to our school? Good as you said you are? What are two talking about? *She blabbered in confusion*

Mason and Tyrone then walked inside making loud noise that it over powered Amelia theses’ conversation.

Tyrone- Bout that time. *He laughed*

Mason- You crazy! *He laughed*

Amelia then made April a burger and placed the Italian sausage and chips on the plate and gave it to her. Everyone then got a plate and began to make themselves a plate. Mason stood behind Monica and began to whisper in her ear something sweet.

Monica- Stop! *She laughed relentlessly*

Mason continued to whisper and tickle her ear.

Monica- *Pushed Mason* Babe stoooop!

Tyrone- Oh Amelia, I forgot to tell you that Angelique came over like a few days ago.

Amelia- *Got her plate* I noticed...she told me. But she's your friend...not mine. *As she sat in Tyes lap* Chip? *As she put it close to his mouth and got back up*

Tyrone- Ugh, well...

Angelique- Amelia?

There was then a complete silence as everyone became shocked that Amelia said that.

Amelia- I think I'll eat someplace else. *As she walked out of the kitchen*

Dustin- *As he snuck up behind her* Going somewhere?

Amelia- *As she turned around* Babe? *She rest down the food then quickly hugged him* Awe! I missed you!

Dustin- I missed you too. *As he kissed her*

Amelia- You haven't called me all day…what's up with that?

Dustin- I was a little busy I'm sorry. But you told me you were having girl’s day with April and I didn’t want to interrupt.

Amelia- But a text could have worked.

Dustin- You're totally correct and I do apologize. *As he began to kiss her neck*

Amelia- Don't...I'm sweaty I just got from practice!

Dustin- *As he continued to kiss her* Then tell me you forgive me.
Amelia- Babe seriously! I just came from practice a a few minutes ago. I'm sweaty and I need to take a bath.

Dustin- *As he kissed her lips then her neck again* I don't care, just forgive me.

Amelia- *Closed her eyes and kissed him* Okay I forgive you! I forgive you!

Dustin then kissed her one last time, stopped and began to laugh.

Amelia- *Smiled* Ugh! *She walked away*

SCENE FOUR

 April was in the kitchen and Amelia walked in and saw Monica sitting in Mason's lap and Angelique was sitting next to Mason while Tyrone was standing next to her.

Amelia- I’m exhausted! April want to sleep over at my house or here? *She said wary* Please say here, please say here.

April- *As she smiled* Oh alright!

Amelia- *Hugs her* Yay! Let's get your bag out of the car.

Angelique looked confused and Mason laughed and turned towards her.

Mason- She practically lives here. Don't worry, She sleeps here every day basically. I mean considering she's my best friend.

Angelique- Oh makes sense.

Tyrone- *Clears throat*

Mason- But you...*As he laughed while he retaliated quickly* you know you're my boy! You...you different! You know what we have is special Tye *As he teased* You know what I'm saying? *As he leaned over to shake his hand* You're my princess. *As they all laughed*

Meanwhile, Amelia and April were in the guest room. They had already taken a bath and were in their pajamas. Amelia was fluffing the pillows and April hopped in the bed. Mrs. Smith then came in with some blankets.

Mrs. Smith- I think these will come in handy. I'm going to turn up the air tonight.

Amelia- Thank you.

Mrs. Smith- No problem. Night ladies. *As she walked out the room*

April- Goodnight. *As she hopped into the bed*

Amelia- Someone's ready for bed. *She smiled*

April- No, lets play a game! Please, please, please, please?

Mason, Tyrone, Dustin, Monica and Angelique then walked into the room.

Tyrone- Oh! You two already for bed huh?

Monica- I'd stay longer but I really need to hit the shower.

Angelique- I'm exhausted. Tye we really should go!

Mason- You guys bailing on us already?

Monica- I just need a bath if you want me to come back over I can.

Mason- *Smiled* It's okay babe, I can pick you up tomorrow and we can hang.

Monica- Study! *As she kissed him* We can study.

Dustin then walked towards Amelia and placed his hands around her waist and she placed her arms around his neck.

Amelia- *Longs out bottom lip* Don't leave yet.

Dustin- It's getting late and you've got company.

Amelia- Sigh.

Dustin- Want me to stay over?

Amelia- I'd love that! *As she smiled*

Monica- I guess I'll see you tomorrow? *As she bit her lips looking at Mason*

Mason- Of course! I'll walk you out.

Monica- Okay. Good night Amelia, see you at practice.

Amelia- Good night Hun, drive safe.

Monica- Thanks, goodnight everyone!

Dustin- Goodnight.

Angelique- Goodnight. Tye let's go!

Tyrone- Okay, okay! *As he laughed*

Tyrone then walked towards Amelia and hugged her.

Tyrone- Goodnight babe.

Amelia- Night! Let your mom know I'm going to bring April sometime around noon tomorrow.

Tyrone- Melia? You know that's not a problem! *Kisses her cheek* Love you.

Amelia- Love you too... *As she looked at Angelique* BEST FRIEN-DA*

Tyrone- *Hand shake Dustin* Night bro.

Dustin- Yeah, night bro.

Angelique- Bye Amelia. I really hope we can have an actual conversation next time. *As she smiled*

Amelia- *As she smiled* Yeah keep hoping!

They both then laughed and. Amelia quickly removed her smile and rolled her eyes.

Amelia- Not!

Dustin- What was that?

Amelia- Nothing.

 Dustin- You just did the fakest move ever. *As he sat on the bed*

Amelia- She's the fake one! Walking up in here like she and I are cool! We are not cool. *She sat on the bed as well*

Dustin- Why not? She seems so nice.

Amelia- And that's a front she's putting on! From I met Tye she was trying to get between us! She tried to break up our friendship many times. And she has the audacity to pretend like we are cool? That we're are good? Nope, I don't play that! 

Dustin- *Laughs* But you just did Melia! You pretended to like her all night.

Amelia- No, no, no there's a difference babe. I was tolerating her.  I was being nice for Tye's sake but that's just it Dustin, I was being nice, she was being fake she know we haven't spoken in years because of what she did.

Dustin- But I don't see the problem she let it go why can't you? *He paused* Unless ...*As he laughed* You're jealous!

Amelia- I'm not jealous!

Dustin- You think she's going to take your place as Tyrone's best friend! *He teased*

Amelia- That's one thing I'm not and that's insecure! I know for a fact she can't take my place!

Dustin- Yeah but admit it, that's what this is all about, isn't it?

Amelia- You don't understand!

Dustin- That's the reason isn't it? Admit it!

Amelia- Dustin you're pushing me!

Dustin- And Amelia you're in denial!

Amelia- Either you shut up about this or you leave! I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Dustin- Really now?

Amelia- Yeah!

Dustin- Seriously? Why do you do that? What's the problem? *He got angry*

Amelia- Sigh, nothing's the problem. You just don’t understand so you won’t get it. 

Dustin- *Grabbed her while laughing and began to lean back* Well, you’re right but you shouldn’t get mad because I don’t understand.

Amelia- Sigh, you're right... I'm sorry!

Dustin- *As he kissed her* Oh now you're sorry!

Amelia- We can't do this in front of.... *As she looked at April she was already fast asleep* She must have been worn out, we had an extremely long day.

Dustin- You know what that means? *As he stared at Amelia*

Amelia- What? *As Dustin was on top of her*

Dustin- I get to do this! *As he kissed her then immediately they begun to play flight*

Dustin then got the pillow and placed it over Amelia's face and Amelia clamped her feet around his waist and grabbed his arm he then let go and she got a pillow and began to whip Dustin with it. Dustin tried to protect him self by grabbing on to Amelia and put her on top of him but eventually they both fell on to the ground.

Amelia- Dustin no! No! No Dustin! *As they fell*

Mason was passing and he looked at them and smiled then walked away to his room.

Dustin- God, I love you!

There was then a silence because it was his first time telling her that. She then smiled and looked him in the eyes.

Amelia- You do? *As she looked at him shocked but relieved at the same time*

Dustin- Of course I do!

They then began to kiss and Amelia slowly lied on top of him. Meanwhile, it was morning and Dustin and Amelia were on the floor sleeping. Amelia was laying in his arms with her foot on him and he had his arm around her while April had the bed to herself. April then got up and leaned over and saw Amelia and Dustin. She then smiled and woke them up.

April- Morning sleepy heads! *She shouted*

Amelia- *She slowly opened her eyes while she yawned* You're up early.

April- Yeah because we have another long day ahead of us.

Amelia- *She smiled* Really now?

Amelia then looked at Dustin as he slept and she then smiled and gently kissed his forehead, then his cheek, and as she contemplated on whether to kiss his lips.

Amelia- What do you say we do an early morning trick on him. Some make up lips stick let’s make him fabulous! *As she laughed*

April- I like the sound of that! *As she giggled*

Amelia- *Laughs* Sshh....

Amelia was about to get up but before she did, Dustin grabbed her hand.

Dustin- Don't you even think about it!

Amelia- Darn it! You're wake. *As she laughed*

Dustin- Yeah I am. 

Amelia- Good morning.

Dustin- Morning beautiful. *He flirted* What time is it?

Mason then came passed the room and over heard them so he stopped.

Mason- Time for breakfast! Morning by the way.

April- Oh what are we having?

Mason- Pancakes and eggs.

April- Yay! Sounds yummy! *As she ran towards he door*

Amelia- She's literally a character! *As she laughed*

Dustin- *As he kissed Amelia* And so are you.

Amelia- *As she shoved him softly* Gasps! *As he kissed her*

SCENE FIVE

Meanwhile, Jennifer was at home and her parents were both at the dining room table and as usually on their cell phones discussing business. They were eating and Jennifer was staring at them and listening to them talk.

Mrs. Carson- You listen to me! I want those records emailed to me in five minutes or you're fired! *She hung up*

Both Mrs. Carson and Mr. Carson phone rang at the same time and they both pressed the button next to their ear answered.

Mr. and Mrs. Carson- Talk to me

Mr. Carson- Eddy I love that, that's good news. Eddy you never let me down.

Mrs. Carson- What do you mean it didn't work? Did you do it properly? You better know! Better yet you're fired!

Jennifer- Um, mom and dad? We have cheerleading competition and less than a month but we need sponsors...do you think you can help us out?

Mrs. Carson- Really that's great honey.. *As her phone begun to ring* Give me one sec, I've spoken! And when I speak it's final! Oh now it's working? Well why didn't you say that? *As she got up and left the table* Let me check my computer.

Jennifer- Mom? But...we're...ugh! So dad can you sponsor the team and help us with our uniforms and hotel expenses? 

Mrs. Carson- How much we talking?

Jennifer- Um... *As she hesitated* it's twenty fi.. *As her dad phone rang*

Mrs. Carson- Hold that thought. Billy! *He shouted with a huge smile* Billy my man! How's it looking? *As he got up from the table*

Jennifer- Dad? But...sigh. This happens all the time! *As continued eating* Some type family I have! Eating alone.

On the other hand, Mason was at Monica's house. He had just arrived to pick her up and he walked to her door and rang the doorbell.

Monica- *As she opened the door* Hey!

Mason- Ready? *As he smiled*

Monica- Yeah but I was thinking, maybe we should study here.

Amelia then rushed passed them with a hand full of college applications and pens behind her ears and she looked a mess.

Amelia- Sorry but we’ve got a lot of work to do!

Monica- Amelia what’s going on?

Amelia- Do you know that when this spring comes we’ll have exactly one year left before we go to college?

Monica- Yeah because next year we’ll be seniors so of course I know that.

Amelia- Exactly, so have you applied for colleges yet? I know Mason hasn’t.

Mason- I was going to get around to it.

Amelia- When? Thousands of thousands of people apply for colleges every year and do you know how many of them get to go or even get accepted?

Mason- I don’t know… a lot?

Amelia- Ehhhhh! Wrong! Fifty for every thousand.

Mason- Come on Amelia we can do this another time.

Amelia- You know I said the exact same words when my mom told me to, Hey Amelia let’s sit down and look through some colleges; ones with nice dorms, great academic programs and one where I can major in accounting and minor in journalism. But you want to know what I said? *She said with relentless sarcasm*

Mason- Sigh...

Amelia- I’ll tell you anyway. I said, no mom maybe later, we can do this another time that’s what I said; I was too busy, doing I don’t know…. Probably hanging with my friends and time went by, two years later and she died and now I’m here trying to get my freaking  friends to fill out a college application with me and they don’t have time to do it! *As she became dramatic* All she wanted was the best for me. For me to make better decisions for my life and to be the best I can be and to achieve whatever it is I wanted to do with my life. And I didn’t realize that until she died! Now I’m going to do it. I’m going to make something out of me! Now are you going to fill out these college applications with me or not?

Mason and Monica became so shocked at how seriously Amelia was taking it that they gave in and agreed.

Mason, Monica- Yes.

Amelia then immediately after realizing her dramatic behavior worked, took a shocking contrast from being extremely emotional and sad to putting a smile on her face and was back to normal.

Amelia- Good. Now you hold this. *As she gave Mason a few applications to hold* And you can get some snacks so we can get cracking.

Mason and Monica then looked at each other amazed by the way Amelia was only acting and got them to agree and they were fascinated.

Mason- I should have seen that coming.

Monica- She’s good.

Meanwhile, they were working on applications upstairs in Monica’s room. They each filled out approximately 9 applications to meet the deadlines. The filling out process was easy but they still had to write their essays.

Mason- Write a one hundred fifty word paragraph on the major you want to pursue and you’re reason for the choice in major. Why do I have to explain the reason for my choice in major that makes no sense...

Amelia- Check this one out. Name the most memorable experience in your life, explain why it was most memorable, why you consider it an experience and use no more than two hundred words.

Monica- What kind of question is that?

Mason- Which college is that? So I won’t waste my time applying.

Amelia- Well considering I want to be a writer someday I guess I’ve got to write that paragraph.

Monica- Amelia, Nobody wants to be a writer. You do it because you’re good at it or because it’s a way for you to express what you’re feeling but to actually do nothing but to write books for a living?

Amelia- What are you talking about? Some of the world’s best writers doesn’t do anything but write for a living. Look at Zane for instance or Nicholas Sparks. There are tons of people that only writes books and movies and stories for a living and trust me they’re living.

Monica- Who ever that is.

Amelia- Just-just put the application down. You should apply for Double S A backwards college.

Monica- Double S A? What college is that? *As Mason Laughed* What’s so funny…. Double S A backwards? *As she realize what it meant*

Amelia and Mason then laughed extremely hard rolling on each other because they both knew the joke.

Monica- Ass? I should go to Ass College? Maybe you should go to your other friends and fill out applications. Get out!

Mason- *As he laughed* Come on babe it was a joke don’t kick her out.

Monica- Bye Amelia!

Amelia- *As she Laughed* It’s fine. It’s fine. I’ll go. But Mason don’t forget to help her apply. She needs as much help as she can get. *As she walked towards the door*

Monica- *As she threw her pillow* GET OUT!

Mason- She’s gone! *As he laughed* Come on babe, don’t kill my best friend!

Monica- Me? An ass? She’s the one that’s dating a guy that’s not over his ex.

Mason- What?

Monica- Nothing.

She then got out of the bed and Mason sat up in curiosity and Monica went into her bag and grabbed some books.

Mason- You said something.

Monica- Don’t mind the ‘ass’ what do I know right?

Mason- *As he shook his head* Amelia was just kidding around no need to get messy about it. Let’s just study ok?

Monica- Yeah, let’s just study. 

Later on they began to study History then Chemistry and then they began to practice a little Math. Which Monica was an expert in. Time wined down and they were tired and began to fall sleep with the books, pens calculators and bags on the bed. It was evening but the sun was still up and Monica's parents had came home. Her mom had groceries and her dad was holding her twin little sisters in his hand while they were asleep. They were seven years old. Monica's other sister Melissa then walked up stairs to her room but saw Monica and Mason.

Melissa- She didn't! *As she smiled but then panicked*

Melissa then ran down stairs and into the kitchen and she started at her mom.

Melissa- So!

Mrs. Finley- Melissa you startled me.

Melissa- Sorry about that mom. *As she laughed*

Mrs. Finley- It's okay just help me put these up I'm going to make sure the twins are okay.

Melissa- No! *As she grabbed her mom’s hand* Ugh.. I meant, let me go check on them and you handle down here. Okay?

Mrs. Finley- You sure?

Melissa- Yeah, just, just proceed to doing this… *She used hand gesture* Alrighty then.. Bye! *She panicked and left*

Mrs. Finley- Okay..? *As she was a bit confused by the way Melissa was acting* These kids are so...

Monica was lying in Mason's arms and she then got up slowly and rubbed her eyes. Immediately she looked through her window and saw her mom and dad's car in the drive way. She then woke up Mason while panicking but trying hard for him not to notice.

Monica- Mason? Babe?

Mason- *As he got up* Ugh, hey what time is it?

Monica- It's eight babe, let's take this over at your house.

Mason- M? I'm tired honestly let's call this a wrap.

Monica- Okay. Well let's pack up these things. *As she grabbed the books* Oh better yet, I'll pack them, let's just go. *As she dropped them*

Mason- *Laughs* Babe what's gotten in to you? *As he got out of the bed*

Melissa- *As she stood by the door* I can answer that. *She teased*

Monica- Why are you in my room?

Melissa- *Gasp* This how you speak to your sister who helped you not get grounded for the rest of your life?

Monica- What are you talking about?

Melissa- Mom was this close to coming up here. You know the rules about having guys over!

Mason- Wait there are rules? Monica you know the last thing I want is for you to get into trouble.

Monica- No one’s getting in trouble okay? Rules are mom and dad has to meet you before you come over unless it's for school reasons. And we were studying.

Melissa- Yeah laying in his arms wow that's some good studying I have to study that some time. Which class is that for? *As she walked towards the door* Oh and dads in the back yard and moms in the kitchen getting dinner ready. Now is the perfect time for pretty boy over there to leave.

Monica- Get out!

Mason- I'll just leave. *As he walked towards Monica* I really don't want to get you into any trouble.

Monica- Sigh babe?

Mason-  *As he kissed her* I'll call you when I get home.

Monica- I'll walk you out.

Amelia was at home and she and her dad were having dinner. As usually there was an awkward silence.

Amelia- So dad?

Mr. Delerentez- Yes sweetheart?

Amelia- I know you and I *As she looked down nervously playing with her food* haven't really been, ugh that close to talk but...*She stalled* Sigh there's this guy....and I kinda...I don't know I..

Mr. Delerentez- *Ate a spoon full of food then placed it down* You want to talk?

Amelia- Yeah kinda.

Mr. Delerentez- Okay I'm all ears. So there's this guy...

No answer

Mr. Delerentez- I'm sensing you like this guy.....a lot.

Amelia- *Smiled* I like him more than a lot.

Mr. Delerentez- *Paused* Oh... Sigh I was around your age when I met your mom.  Just a little older, but I know this is probably just an infatuation phase.

Amelia- And if it isn't?

Mr. Delerentez- Then if it isn't this is a huge step I mean he's your first boyfriend.

Amelia- What makes you think he's my first boyfriend?

Mr. Delerentez- I-ah... I... Well, is he?

Amelia- Sigh, yes... Oh my god what if this isn't real and it is actually just a phase? I've never even done this before. I haven't had any boyfriends, how do I even know if this is real? *As she panicked*

Mr.  Delerentez- *As he laughed* Let me meet the kid. I'll tell you what I think.

Amelia- Really dad?

Mr. Delerentez- Yeah invite him over.

Amelia- I've got something better in mind. His parents are having a family BBQ and they told me to invite you. *As she played with her food* In fact, his dad says that he knows you and he knew mom too.

Mr. Delerentez- Your mom and I had a good face in town so if he says he knows us, then he probably does.

Amelia- This is so great I promise you will love Dustin, sigh he's the best.

Mr. Delerentez- I hope he is.

Meanwhile, Angelique was at Tyrone's house on her cell phone. She walked out of the living room where they were watching a movie to the back yard to answer. She was talking to be boyfriend Malique.

Angelique- I know it seems like forever but I'm coming back soon. *She said sadly* Malique come on! I came to do one thing then I'm right back there home.....Babe but you promised! Malique! Ugh so what you’re going to, you're going to just break up with me? You're just going to throw everything away? *As she cried* What happened to us? I thought you loved me! God Malique you're so damn selfish! You know what? Fine, fine! If you think it's the best, then leave!.....Of course I don't mean that but I can't force you to stay!
The argument became loud that Tyrone heard it from the living room. He then walked out back and stood by the door listening and watching Angelique.
Angelique- Please just, just think about it and call me in the morning! Please I'm begging! You're just not thinking clearly missing someone gets you that way and I understand. *As she cried more* Malique when did you get so selfish? Sigh so this is it? We're done? You're just a coward! Just like your father! You're weak! You're spineless! And you know what I hate you! *As Malique hung up on her* Ughhh!

Angelique then wiped her tears and held her mouth. She was extremely hurt and she threw her phone.

Angelique- Ughhh! So Fucking stupid!

Tyrone- You okay?

They then stared at each other and  Angelique hold everything until moments later the tears continuously rolled down and Tyrone gave her a hug.

Angelique- No.

Tyrone- It's okay! It's okay!It's all going to be ok! I'm here... Sigh.
